A busy schedule sometimes prevents you from doing laundry in the morning or afternoon, so the task has to be moved to the evening.

However, from the point of view of folk wisdom, this should not be done after sunset.

Why you can't wash at night

Even in ancient times, people attached special importance to the sunset. It was believed that the moment when day turns to night has special energy.

Allegedly, at this time of day, all the dark forces are activated, looking for ways to annoy people. The belief is based on the fact that wet things should not be left to dry overnight. That is, clothes were washed earlier so that they would dry by evening.

According to the sign, if you break this rule, evil spirits will definitely take advantage of it. It is believed that things will "gain" negative night energy and then the person will suffer from headaches when he puts on these clothes.

The ancestors had a negative attitude towards moonlight. The belief is that clothes dried under such lighting can attract bad luck and illness.
